Harry's point of view-
November 7, 1987 (One Week after Meeting After Meeting Zues and Hera)-
The past week had been a whirlwind of emotions and revelations. My leg had healed completely, thanks to the combined efforts of magic and divine intervention. The cast and wheelchair were now distant memories, symbols of my past suffering.
I stood in Buckingham Palace, feeling a sense of anticipation and excitement. Today, Fleur was bringing her family to meet the royal family, my other known bound mates, and my daughters, the twenty huntresses who had chosen me as their father.
As we waited in one of the grand halls, I couldn't help but feel a mix of nerves and excitement. Fleur's family was important to her, and by extension, they were important to me. I wanted them to feel welcome and to understand the unique bond we all shared.
The doors opened, and Fleur walked in, followed by her family. Her parents, Apolline and Monsieur Delacour, and her younger sister, Gabrielle, entered the room with grace. Gabrielle, or "Gabby" as we affectionately called her, caught my eye immediately. Her left hand was glowing softly, the mate mark resonating with mine.
I smiled as Gabby approached me. Her eyes were filled with a mixture of determination and a hint of shyness. "Harry," she said, her voice soft but steady. "I remember everything."
I took her hand in mine, feeling the warmth of the mate mark. "I'm glad you're here, Gabby," I replied, my heart swelling with emotion. "You are part of this family, and I'm happy to see you again."
Gabrielle smiled, her shyness fading as she stood next to me. The connection we shared was undeniable, and I could see the same recognition in her eyes that I had seen in Fleur's.
As the Delacours mingled with the royal family, my daughters, the twenty huntresses, gathered around us. They were eager to meet Gabrielle, another of my bound mates. Hermione, Fleur, Zoe, and Artemis stood with me, their presence reassuring and supportive.
"Gabrielle, these are our daughters," I said, gesturing to the huntresses. "They are eager to meet you."
One of the huntresses, a tall girl with striking silver eyes, stepped forward. She was one of the first to accept me as her father. "It's an honor to meet you, Gabrielle," she said, her voice filled with warmth. "We are glad to welcome you into our family."
Gabrielle smiled, her eyes shining with happiness. "Thank you," she said, her voice full of emotion. "I am honored to be part of this family."
The huntresses gathered around, each of them introducing themselves to Gabrielle. It was a beautiful sight, this merging of families, bound together by love, destiny, and the mate marks that symbolized our connection.
As the introductions continued, I felt a sense of peace and fulfillment. My life had been filled with hardship and pain, but now, surrounded by those I loved and who loved me in return, I felt a sense of belonging and purpose.
Hermione stood by my side, her hand resting gently on my arm. "This is just the beginning, Harry," she whispered, her eyes filled with warmth and determination. "We have so much to look forward to."
I nodded, my heart filled with hope and gratitude. "Yes, we do," I agreed. "Together, we can face anything."
The day continued with laughter, stories, and the forging of new bonds. Fleur's family, the royal family, my bound mates, and my daughters—together, we were stronger than ever. And as I looked around at the faces of those I held dear, I knew that no matter what the future held, we would face it together, as a family.
Lady Lilla Hogwarts' Point of View-
Location: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry-
It was November 7, 1987, and as the living heart of Hogwarts, I had the ability to keep an eye on anyone within the school's walls. Today, my attention was on Albus Dumbledore. From my hidden vantage point, I watched as he called an urgent meeting with the school staff.
"Thank you all for coming to this meeting," Dumbledore began, his tone grave. "I've ensured that classes are canceled for the day and will resume tomorrow. We have a situation that requires our immediate attention. Harry Potter is missing from his family's home. He was taken by Muggle authorities for reasons unknown, and this is not good. He must be with his family for his own protection, as there are Death Eaters out there who could harm him. He needs to be returned."
Among those present was Minerva McGonagall, one of Harry's bound mates and one of my bound sisters. I noticed her subtly hide the mate mark on her hand with brown leather gloves. She was aware that I was observing the meeting, and her thoughts mirrored my concern for Harry. She, like me, remembered Harry's life from the last time around.
The other staff members present included Filius Flitwick, Rolanda Hooch, Severus Snape, Sybill Trelawney, Pomona Sprout, Aurora Sinistra, and Rubeus Hagrid. Each of them wore expressions of varying degrees of worry and confusion.
"The boy needs to be brought back to his relatives immediately," Severus Snape said, his voice clipped and cold. "He's safest with them, despite their... shortcomings."
"Safest?" Minerva interjected, her Scottish brogue thick with indignation. "He was taken by Muggle authorities, Albus! They must have found something truly troubling to act so decisively."
Hagrid, usually more subdued in these meetings, nodded vigorously. "Yeh, an' if the Muggles took 'im, there must be a reason. Maybe he wasn' safe there after all."
Pomona Sprout leaned forward, her face full of concern. "What do we know about the situation with his relatives, Albus? If they were unfit, we should have known."
Dumbledore sighed heavily, his eyes weary. "I have kept tabs on the situation, but it appears that something has escalated beyond our control. We need to focus on getting him back."
Just as the meeting began to discuss potential strategies to retrieve Harry, a Ministry owl flew into the room, carrying a message with urgent news. Dumbledore took the letter, scanned it quickly, and then his expression darkened.
"It seems," he began slowly, "that Vernon, Dudley, and Marge Dursley have been taken in by Muggle authorities for various offenses. Vernon and Dudley for the physical abuse of Harry, and Marge for raising fighting dogs and operating an illegal dog fighting ring as aiding the physical abuse of Harry."
The room fell into a stunned silence. This news clearly disrupted any plans they had of returning Harry to the Dursleys.
Minerva was the first to break the silence. "This changes everything, Albus. We cannot send him back to such a dangerous environment."
"Indeed," agreed Flitwick, his voice high but firm. "We must find a safe place for him. Surely there are better options."
Dumbledore seemed to hesitate, his blue eyes clouded with worry. "The protections at Privet Drive are strong, but without the Dursleys... We need to come up with an alternative, quickly."
From my position, I knew there were forces beyond Dumbledore's control already at work to protect Harry. As Lady Lilla Hogwarts, I had to trust in the bound mates and the intricate web of fate that had already begun to shift around Harry.
Minerva glanced subtly towards where she knew I was observing. Her eyes met mine, a silent communication passing between us. She knew Harry was safe for now, under the protection of the royal family, and surrounded by those who truly cared for him.
"We must act with caution and haste," she said firmly, looking back at the rest of the staff. "But we must also ensure that whatever we do next is truly in Harry's best interest."
As the meeting continued, with ideas and suggestions being tossed around, I felt a sense of hope. Despite the challenges, Harry was not alone. He had allies, bound by love and destiny, who would ensure his safety and happiness.
After the meeting concluded, Hera appeared next to me and Minerva, her presence a calming force.
"Lilla, Minerva," Hera said, "I need to talk to you both in Minerva's private quarters."
We quickly made our way to Minerva's quarters, where Hera transformed into Lily to make Minerva more comfortable. Minerva, always seeing Hera as Lily rather than the Greek goddess, let out a sigh of relief.
"Thanks for turning into Lily, Hera," Minerva said, her voice soft with emotion. "I needed the comfort right now. I'm worried that Albus will do something to get Harry back into the hands of Vernon, Dudley, and Marge."
Hera reached out and took Minerva's hand. "Minerva, I know you're worried about Harry. Albus's intentions are not well-meaning and are not in Harry's best interest. But do not worry. None of us will let that happen. Harry is safer now with his grandmother, the most powerful person in England, and the royal family. The bonded, me, his father, and many others will do everything in our power to keep him that way. Trust in the bond you share with him, the support of those who love him, and the people who are willing to see him happy."
Minerva nodded, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "Thank you, Hera. Your words mean a lot to me. I just want Harry to be safe and happy."
"We all do," I added. "And he will be. We'll make sure of it."
-Harry's Point of View-
We were all gathered in a spacious room within Buckingham Palace. Hedwig, my beloved owl, perched comfortably on an indoor bird stand provided by one of the royal guards. The room was buzzing with excitement and anticipation as we planned our next steps.
I looked around at my companions: Hermione, Fleur, Gabrielle, Zoe, Artemis, and my twenty daughters—the huntresses. Their faces reflected a shared determination and readiness for the journey ahead. I took a deep breath and began to speak.
"Either we find the other members of the bonded who are out there or we start training," I said, my voice steady. "This training will last for the next three years, nine months, and twenty-four days until I turn eleven and go to Hogwarts. We'll have occasional breaks for events, holidays, and things like that."
There was a collective murmur of agreement from the group. Hermione, Fleur, Gabrielle, Zoe, Artemis, and my daughters all nodded, their eyes shining with resolve. Hermione and Gabrielle, who had already joined me through their bonds, knew the importance of preparing for the future. They had come to me; the others would do the same in time.
"We need to be ready for anything," Hermione said, her tone firm. "Training is the best way to ensure we're prepared for whatever challenges come our way."
Fleur nodded in agreement. "We must also be vigilant in finding the other bonded. They are out there, and they will need us just as much as we need them."
Gabrielle she saiys, her voice filled with emotion to harry and the other as she speaks "We are all connected, and we must strengthen those connections through our training and our bond."
Zoe and Artemis exchanged a glance, then turned to me. "We are ready to guide and support you, Harry," Artemis said. "Our bond is strong, and together, we can face any challenge."
The huntresses, my daughters, formed a semicircle around us, their expressions resolute. "We are with you, Father," one of them said, her voice echoing the sentiment of the group. "We will train and prepare ourselves for the future."
I felt a surge of pride and determination as I looked at each of them. This was my family, bound by destiny and love. We would face the future together, prepared for whatever came our way.
"Alright," I said, my voice filled with conviction. "Let's start our training regimen. We'll focus on physical conditioning, magical practice, and strategic planning. We'll also keep an eye out for any signs of the other bonded members. Together, we'll be ready for anything."
With unanimous agreement, we began to lay out our training schedule. Each day would be filled with rigorous exercises, magical practice sessions, and strategic discussions. We would push ourselves to our limits, knowing that this preparation was crucial for the challenges ahead.
As the plans solidified, I felt a sense of purpose and unity among us. This was just the beginning of our journey, but I knew that with the support and strength of my bonded family, we could overcome any obstacle. Together, we would ensure a future where we could all be safe and happy.
